OK, what the heck's a grue?

What is a grue?
hmmm
Q: Why are you scared of the dark?
A: Because you're likely to be eaten by a grue.

Q: What is a grue?
A: "The grue is a sinister, lurking presence in the dark places of the earth. Its favorite diet is either adventurers or enchanters, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its horrible fear of light. No grues have ever been seen by the light of day, and only a few have been observed in their underground lairs. Of those who have seen grues, few ever survived their fearsome jaws to tell the tale." - Zork I

It's something that makes us old fogeys nostalgic for the good ol' days, when you knew the exact number of bytes in your mainframe's ram. None of this "so many kilobytes" stuff, or even "megabytes". Heh. I even hear that you whippersnappers are doing "gigabytes" of RAM and "terabytes" of hard disk space... back in my day, we appreciated every single byte!

But no, I only walked just over a mile to school, and it was mostly flat. The five miles and uphill stuff was my dad's day.

Hey now, I DID walk uphill both ways. I want the respect due for that. Or maybe a cookie...

Geek King, I have half a box of Thin Mints and a whole package of Chips Ahoy around here somewhere.

I can give you some fig newtons... they're fruit and cake!

I was going to say, someone used to play MUDs. Ah...how I miss walking into a dark cave and getting that message...

Grues RULE!!

Well, there's one I'll never be able to tell my grandkids. No 5 miles to school, uphill both ways for this grand dad. I lived across the street from school. My total walking distance was about 30 yards and it was all level.

Dang, deprived again. Well, not to worry. I have plenty of other stories to bore the crap out of them with.

I have to hand it to you GK.....yet another great phrase introduced into my already impressive lexicon.

"Penis otter" indeed. I can't wait to use THAT one!

Geek King, I have half a box of Thin Mints and a whole package of Chips Ahoy around here somewhere.

Mmmmm.....Thin Mints....mmmmmmm......

Welcome to text only Counterstrike
You are in a dark, outdoor area

You have been pwned by a Grue

[Pagan]

I really should have just kept my mouth shut, shouldn't I have? -.-

I hope that was a rhetorical question? You know your fangirls well enough to know what we'll seize upon!

[ShootMePlease]

Uh-

Mmmmm.....Thin Mints....mmmmmmm......

Alas, my Thin Mints are nothing but a fond memory....should remember to buy additional next time around.

[Andara Bledin]

:OT:

I was going to buy some Thin Mints on Sunday. Walked into Borders and there was a group of Girl Scouts set up outside. Walked out just 20 minutes later and nothing. *poof* gone.

I think I just spewed my lungs, never mind my drink, all over my monitor. "you will be eaten by a grue", indeed. Ow.

Ah, the holy grail of CSers worldwide. Being the first to post on a GK thread.

Actually, a large number of members are already claiming not to read past the first post in his threads anymore, nor post in them because they are really sick of all this annoying "fangirl/fanboy hero worship" crap, causing his threads to span pages and pages of nothing but "OMG GK iz 2 kewl 4 wurds!!!"
In fact, it even became a fratching topic, although actual names weren't used.

Please, guys, it really isn't fair to Gravekeeper to have people ignoring his threads because members go off on these tangents.

We've asked before, repeatedly, for the members to stop the derailing into idol worship.

Yeah, he's talented. He has a way with words. I think he already knows that, and he knows how people feel.

It would be great if people would stick to discussing his actual posts instead of turning the site into a GK love-fest.

He's only one of the very talented people who share stories.

Rabid fandom detracts from his great posts and causes hurt feelings.
